Maruf Hossain
Since 2014 I've helped businesses find the right prospects, reach their inboxes, and turn contacts into customers — from Mailchimp campaigns and B2B lead lists to HubSpot CRM operations.
Three ways I help businesses grow
Skills that move pipelines,
not just inboxes
Everything I offer sits in one of three connected disciplines — because leads, emails, and CRM data only create revenue when they work together.
Email Marketing & Automation
Email Marketing & Campaign Support
End-to-end campaign builds: strategy, persuasive copy, subject lines, preview text, A/B testing and send management.
Newsletter Design
Fully editable, mobile-responsive Mailchimp newsletter templates your team can update without a designer.
Mailchimp Automation
Welcome series, drip sequences, re-engagement flows and audience segmentation that run on autopilot.
Deliverability & Compliance
List hygiene, domain authentication and GDPR/CASL/CAN-SPAM compliance so your emails actually land.
CRM & Revenue Operations
HubSpot CRM Setup & Support
Portal implementation from scratch: properties, pipelines, lifecycle stages, user permissions and team onboarding. HubSpot Academy certified (Sales Hub & Revenue Operations).
CRM Data Cleaning & Management
Deduplication, standardisation, enrichment and ongoing data governance — because dirty data costs deals.
Sales Operations Support
Deal stage management, task workflows, handover processes and the admin work that lets sales teams sell.
CRM Reporting & Dashboards
Pipeline, activity and campaign dashboards that give leadership answers instead of spreadsheets.
B2B Lead Generation & Data
Targeted B2B Lead Generation
Hand-researched prospect lists by industry, role, geography and company size — verified names, titles, and emails.
Data Research & Enrichment (Apollo)
Prospect data collection, validation and segmentation — 6 years as a data research analyst for multi-channel lead gen campaigns.
A decade in the engine room
of sales and operations
Hei! I'm Maruf Hossain — an email marketing and CRM operations specialist based in Vaasa, Finland, originally from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
My career runs on two parallel tracks that feed each other. Since 2014, I've been a freelance email marketing and B2B lead generation specialist — earning Top Certified Seller status on PeoplePerHour with 1,000+ five-star reviews from 500+ international clients, plus six years as a data research analyst at bant.io.
The other track is operations leadership: as Service Supervisor at IHP Suomi Oy I lead a team of 64 across 16 Finnish cities, and I hold a Master's in Engineering (Project Management) from VAMK (4.4/5.0). I also run my own registered Finnish agency, Maruf Hossain IT.
Today those tracks are converging into CRM and revenue operations — HubSpot Academy certified in Sales Hub and Revenue Operations, building hands-on implementations, Apollo integrations and reporting systems. I've spent ten years generating and nurturing leads; now I build the systems that manage them.
Data first
A campaign is only as good as the data behind it — clean lists win before the first send.
Inbox obsessed
Deliverability, compliance and design details that decide whether email gets read or ignored.
Systems thinking
From leads to pipeline to reporting — I build the operations layer that makes revenue repeatable.
